Before I start, some disclosure. I'm a planner by profession and I answer Social Security questions every day. I've got all the publications and lots more by way of research resources. I won't say I'm an expert but I do lots of research and spend time every day on their website. I’ll also disclose that I previously (and likewise positively) reviewed the first edition of Social Security for Dummies. The new edition is just as good if not better.Like that first edition, the second carries AARP’s stamp of approval. Also, like the first edition, there isn't a single facet of the programs, benefits, etc. that is not covered thoroughly and well explained. Misnamed, the '...for Dummies' series is, in my opinion, quite good.This book on Social Security is a terrific resource for anyone wanting to know more. It’s very well-organized, written and in a voice that will not put people to sleep. Any idea how rare that is? I've been doing this for decades and haven't seen another document this well done since, well, the first edition and this one is even better.The book covers the basics of Social Security and it is well written and coherent. The Social Security booklet on the topic published by the SSA is also pretty well written. What is improved by this book is how they link different strategies about when and how to claim in a way that is actionable and clear. That, the SSA does not do as well. Where there is some grey areas in the SSA documents, this book shines a light into those grey zones to the benefit of the reader and eventual claimant.
The decisions You make today can affect you and generations of your family at the most basic level of existence including; putting a roof over your head, food on your table and critical medical care.Social Security is one of the best investments you make, one of the least understood, and one of the most myth ridden tools at your disposal, to protect your home, parents, spouse, children, step children, and possibly even your grandchildren .How can this book help you?1. This book breaks down the complex rules, including both common and little known Social Security laws and regulations into an easy to read, understandable 278 page book. But there is even more: Included in the book are phone numbers, web sites, and addresses so if you need to know more specific information about a certain subject the place to go is at your fingertips.2. I love this book, it is easy to understand and easy to read through the whole book. But it is also set up so that it is easy to look up any question you might have and even includes telephone numbers, addresses, web sites, a glossary for Social Security terminology and a chapter on Medicare.3. I am buying one of these books for each of my children and my Mom.Who needs a thorough understanding of social security?1. You need it.When do you need a good understanding of Social Security?1. The day you take your first job and throughout your life.2. (Note: Workers under 24 need six credits earned in three years before the onset of disability to qualify for SSDI. See the book for other age requirements.)Why do you need it?1.
Rules and regulations muddy and fog up the Social Security process making it difficult to navigate the complex system. Experienced attorneys are usually best to consult whenever trying to apply for Social Security benefits, but books such as, Social Security for Dummies, written by Jonathan Peterson, can be a great resource.Simply put, Social Security for Dummies is a great starting point. Anyone thinking of entering, or are currently in, the complex world of Social Security should purchase this book. AARP approved Social Security for Dummies for a reason.Jonathan Peterson, AARP Executive Communication Director, award winning journalist, and author of Social Security for Dummies, does an excellent job summing up, in easy-to-understand language, some of what it takes to tackle the Social Security Administration. It must be stressed, and cannot be stressed enough, that Social Security for Dummies is limited in its ability to fully untangle every aspect of the Social Security system.Jonathan Peterson does a great job leading readers to raise their own questions and offers links to sources to potentially answer those questions. Younger readers can also explore and uncover detailed information about planning for retirement and how to maximize Social Security benefits. You will gain a better understanding of the overall process by reading this book, and every link provided, but potentially not a complete understanding. That said, note even experienced practitioners and attorneys can be ignorant of amendments made to Social Security rules and regulations. Therefore, use this book as a pipeline to clarify or verify what you are told. As used and adopted by Ronald Reagan during U.S.-Soviet Union relations discussions, “Trust, but verify.
